you'll probabley get away with it, but the indicators are to close together for it to be legal, apart from that I'm never a fan of restricted visability on lighting as it's a safety aid.

Cheers Mark.

Chop the can down and fit the original indicators. Mine works a treat.

I know what you mean about the indicators but thats how the bike came when I got it, I've had a mate ride behind me and he says they are ok but I'd still like something a bit brighter. I picked up a set of these, they are bright and a hell of a lot more visible but they don't seem to fit very well, might have to try and bodge the originals back on, hmm now what to fill the undertray holes with.....

I know stubbification was going to be suggested, If you don't mind me asking, how long is yours

also have you got a side view of your bike.

Cheers,
Pete

The main bulk is 36cm. Then add the spout so thats approx 43cm.
Why a side view? Not sure what you are looking for. The indicators sit just shy of the spout. Also bearing in mind the original underwotsit was used and also a bracket was made for the reg plate. The can is hung on a small bracket which is attached somewhere behind the bungee rails IIRC, not really taken much notice TBH.
